    Agreed. Starts out with the always cringe-worthy: "I'm not too good at this social media thing"....oh boy, heeeere we go. Then goes on to call everyone who criticizes his column Cinnabon-eating cowards and trolls. Epic meltdown.

    Isn't Castro back now? And wasn't the whole point of signing Giminez to add a "steady presence" behind the plate defensively? The Twins came off a rough September series, they're on the road with a young pitcher in an absolutely huge pressure game, and Molitor opts to put the rookie catcher back there? I don't get the decision. The good news is that the Twins still are hanging on to that wildcard. Bartolo, we'll be watching tonight and we'd like to see a huge game from ya, big man!

    Sano needs to get back ASAP. He'd help that situation in a heartbeat, allowing a guy like Vargas or Escobar or whomever to be available to PH. Alas, Sano won't be back for at least another week. BIG SERIES in Tampa and another BIG SERIES in KC. Gonna be a make-or-break week.

    Hmmm, okay the Twins have some work to do here. When's Bux coming back? Tomorrow please?
  5. bighat
    I heard that on the last broadcast too! I was thinking "Don't jinx it, don't jinx it"... Huge series here against KC. Hurry up and get back, Miguel Sano!

    When you're mounting a huge comeback on the road in the thick of the playoff race late in the season, and John Curtiss is your best option in the 'pen...well, that's not good.

    More fantasy points if he bunts and the gets the SB. In my opinion, that catch wasn't Buxton's "finest catch" but I'm not complaining! Is Buxton the Twins' best player right now?

    Rogers hasn't been too good lately. Bummer they couldn't win this one. Go get 'em J.O.

    Polanco is abso-smurfly on fire. Eddie Rosario is the best pure hitter on the team these days! When the Twins can get contributions for guys like that they're hard to beat. And hey, how 'bout that Kennys Vargas!?!?

    Who's this Melville guy? And what's gonna happen with Slegers?

    Boshers blew the game last night, maybe Perkins' farewell parade can come at his expense. This game was an eye opener. Reminds one of when the Twins played Houston and the LA Dodgers - the Twins are not in the Indians' class and unfortunately it looked like both teams knew it last night. Amazing play by Sano! That was seriously Machado-esque, I cannot say enough about this kid's play at 3b this year. Buxton's gem and early RBI, I think we can expect a torrid September from him once again.

    Could not agree more, Van. Watching Perkins waltz into the bullpen wearing his "free pass" hometown boy Gopher t-shirt under his uniform? No thank you. It's sort of like the Phillies and Ryan Howard. He did some good things for this team, but when a guy's out of gas you gotta DFA him and just let someone else take a flyer if they want. He's toast and this Twins fans does not want to see him in a MN uniform ever again. Perkins hasn't pitched for over a year and the last time he did he was getting plastered and was a huge contributor to the collapse in the early days of a dreadful 2016. This team needs to bury the ghost and move on with what got them here. I think Perkins returning would have a negative effect on the clubhouse and the way the team feels - kinda like when that hated co-worker returns from a long vacation in the office.

    Wins against a struggling Brewers team and a few lucky escapes in Detroit....hey, we'll take it! But series like this one against the Indians - this is the meat and potatoes. Are the Twins gonna show some fight? Step up? Is the recent hot streak for real? Now's the time to go for it. I think Colon starting the opener is a good thing. Veteran presence, Twins players don't have to worry about their pitcher getting nervous. And hey - can the Twins can please please please keep the opponents off the board in the first 2 innings? It's one thing going down 4-0 against Detroit or Milwaukee. Getting down by more than 2 early against Cleveland is a different animal.

    I'd also prefer Vargas over Grossman as DH. I don't think that's gonna happen, though.

    The Twins need ya today, Erv.
  16. bighat
    Oh Gibby, let's get some outs here. Stop this right now.
  17. bighat
    Ump seems to have a liberal strike zone here.
  18. bighat
    Sano seems to be swinging and missing on that low and outside borderline pitch with regularity these days. Go the other way, man!
  19. bighat
    Dozier in that 2nd half groove...
  20. bighat
    I meant Santiago. :/
  21. bighat
    I wholeheartedly concur. I worry about "you-know-who" getting a start as he's back in the dugout, but I think Gee's earned this one. Another win! Let's keep the streak going tonight fellas!
  22. bighat
    Rosario's really become a solid bat in the lineup. You gotta feel great for Polanco! Santana again with a nice quality start. Remember a few years ago when Kevin Correia led the team with 9 wins? Cool to see Santana and Berrios in double-digits. Not a pretty win? At this point, many of us will take any win we can get. Hope they pull off the mini-sweep today, go Adalberto!

    One thing I'm not ignoring is Rogers' 24.00 ERA in his last 6 appearances. He's getting crushed, dude.
  24. bighat
    Folks, the book's out on Rogers. Since July 20 he's got a 24.00 ERA in 6 appearances. The magic fairy dust has worn off, and it's batting practice out there. A recurring theme this year for the Twins: a player who was once looked upon as a team strength has become a major weakness. Santiago, Polanco, Duffey, Grossman, now Rogers.

    Dozier getting hot. The Twins need a shot in the arm offensively, hope this provides a spark. Would be fun to see this team win a few in a row and get back above .500!
